3. Paper Source

Do something creative everyday, urges this quirky home decor site. Go into top searches and somewhat incongruously there’s a ‘Hedgehogs’ tab. How could I resist? There are hedgehog magnets, a glitter pine cone hedgehog ornament, hedgehog dryer balls, hedgehog notepads, journals, wrapping paper, and lip gloss. You heard me, hedgehog lip gloss. I’m sure there’s lots of lovely other stuff on there, but I couldn’t drag my eyes away for all the hedghogginess.
